Atlas-affiliated think tanks are behind alarming efforts to silence dissent. In Germany, climate activists from Letzte Generation were branded “terrorists” by politicians echoing Atlas-backed rhetoric, resulting in police raids & public violence: newrepublic.com/article/175488…

The Atlas Network’s playbook is global. In the US, its members like the Heritage Foundation and Heartland Institute use media to frame climate movements as “radical” threats, discrediting activists like Greta Thunberg to shield corporate interests. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

UK-based Policy Exchange, an Atlas-linked think tank, drafted anti-protest legislation targeting groups like Extinction Rebellion. PM Rishi Sunak thanked them for helping pass laws that curb basic rights to dissent, solidifying corporate power. alpha2omega.notion.site/Atlas-Network-…

Atlas doesn’t just target activists—it shapes narratives. By infiltrating media, it reframes corporate exploitation as economic necessity & environmentalists as extremists. This manipulation creates public hostility against those who fight for justice.

The Heritage Foundation, a powerful Atlas member, shaped Trump’s Mandate for Leadership, a 900-page document that proposed authoritarian policies favoring corporate elites. The same playbook echoes in policies across Argentina & the UK.

Atlas think tanks operate like viruses, spreading anti-regulation & anti-dissent laws globally. In Australia, Atlas members branded Indigenous land defenders as “terrorists” to weaken protections for sacred lands & strengthen extractive industries.

The Atlas Network’s funding reveals its true priorities. Billionaires, fossil fuel companies, & extractive industries funnel dark money into its think tanks to dismantle public protections, weaken workers' rights, & consolidate wealth.

Its tactics are insidious. In Canada, the Fraser Institute framed protests as threats to “infrastructure,” justifying police crackdowns. In Sweden, Timbro compared youth climate activists to Nazis, using fear to discredit their calls for urgent action.

German police raids on Letzte Generation activists were the culmination of an Atlas-backed strategy: criminalize protest, demonize activists, & embolden the public to respond with violence—all while claiming to defend “freedom” & “order.”

Atlas’s roots trace back to Fisher’s “war of ideas,” where he worked with oil execs to build think tanks promoting free-market ideology. Fisher saw elections as secondary to shaping intellectual discourse—a strategy still driving Atlas’s actions today.

During Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile, Atlas-linked policies decimated public services, favoring corporate elites. These same neoliberal strategies have been repackaged & exported worldwide, creating crises of inequality wherever they’re applied.

Atlas’s network spans continents, coordinating over 500 think tanks to share strategies for dismantling regulations, suppressing dissent, & centralizing power. From Latin America to Europe, its influence is pervasive & deeply damaging.

One of Atlas’s most harmful tools is the criminalization of climate protests. Its think tanks push narratives painting activists as threats, paving the way for laws protecting corporate interests while silencing opposition movements worldwide.

The rhetoric of “freedom” hides its true goal: control. Atlas isn’t defending liberty—it’s enabling corporations to exploit resources unchecked, workers to lose rights, & protesters to face prison for daring to resist the status quo.

We must act to counter this shadowy network. Expose Atlas’s funding, demand transparency from media & politicians, & support independent journalism that reveals its tactics. Knowledge is our most powerful tool in fighting back. ✊

Grassroots resistance has slowed Atlas’s agenda in many cases, proving its dominance isn’t inevitable. By organizing, educating, & standing together, we can protect democracy & create systems that prioritize people over profit.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. If we allow Atlas’s influence to grow unchecked, we risk a world where corporations dictate laws, workers are silenced, & dissent is criminalized. The time to resist is now. 🌍

Together, we can dismantle the Atlas Network’s grip on global policy & build a future rooted in justice, democracy, & equity. The fight isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. Will you join the effort to reclaim our world?

The fight for democracy starts here: exposing shadowy networks, amplifying independent voices, & supporting those who stand for justice. Let’s ensure corporate greed doesn’t silence us. The future depends on us. #DigWar #Project2025
